300 pounds less than what?
You are assuming that 1) the Z/28 actually GAINS weight over an SS and 2) the Z/28 will get the LT4.
Your first assumption is pretty likely to be incorrect. GM can and will reduce weight on any track variant. And as for the second if that is the engine it will be well over 100 HP more that the FC V8 which would put the proverbial fork in it. Add CC brakes and not even a concern.
If it has 100 HP more and weighs within 100 pounds no contest.
Where it will get interesting is if the is an LTX in the mix. So my guess is the ZL1 launches first again and the Z/28 follows with an LTX.
But I just don't see a GT350R being 300 pounds less than a not currently announced Z.
